Is study abroad in your future? The first step to making it so is to visit the Study Abroad Fair tomorrow hosted by the International Education Center. For students who already have journeyed abroad, they are invited to attend a new informational series for study abroad returnees, which begins this afternoon.

Semester study-abroad returnees are invited to attend this new informational series. The first session will be held from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. today, Wednesday, Feb. 10, in the Fireside Room, Murray-Herrick Campus Center.
